156. What to Do When Your Homeschool Child Doesn’t See You As Their Teacher

Hey, Friend!
This is a tricky one, right? Your homeschool child doesn’t see you as their teacher and “just” their mom. How do you get over that hurdle so that home education is a success?
From my studies of the school system and what exactly is meant by teacher, teaching, education, and mom, I’m not going to hold back in breaking this down. But, on the flip side, there are a few very practical steps you can take to turn this concern around.
The goal is you and your child thriving in your homeschool lifestyle and it may be hard to see that right now, but listen in, begin to take the steps shared about, and watch things begin to change.
I am so excited for your family to make this shift and see it for what it is. And then find your way on the other side of the mom vs. teacher debate!

Hey, Friend!
It seems like everyone everywhere is talking about reading aloud to your child. And you wonder if it’s just a trend and will fade away? To be honest, I don’t think so and I’m going to back that up in this episode.
From my 20 years of reading to my children, I’m going to share with you zero statistics, but lots of facts and results of this simple practice. I was a little skeptical too, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding and there is a ton of proof…and pudding, if that’s your thing.
Turn up the volume a little bit, wash that sink full of dirty dishes, and then grab your kids and your library card and may the adventure of homeschool read alouds begin!
